Chapter 908

Thinking back to last night when he pretended to be drunk, my cheeks couldn’t help but flush at his actions.

Just then, he looked at me again. At just one glance, my heart skipped a few beats. I picked up the water glass and drank calmly.

Reynaldo just kept staring at me without blinking, his eyes calm and peaceful, with no expression on his face. But I felt that he was also thinking about last night’s scene. My face grew hotter and hotter. Unable to bear it, I stood up and said, “I’ll go wash my hands first, you guys go ahead and eat.”

Reynaldo hummed and served the two children their food.

I rushed into the bathroom and washed my face with cold water. Looking at the red-faced self in the mirror, I felt both embarrassed and regretful. I will never try to get Reynaldo drunk again. That man’s capacity for alcohol was truly unfathomable. I was so upset. If only I could forget the scene from last night.

In the evening, Madisyn promptly told the two children to go to bed. I searched for my phone for a long time, only to remember in the end that I had left it in the car. When I found my phone, I realized there were several missed calls on it. The first dozen calls were all from Reynaldo. I noticed the time; it was right when I had just picked up Essie and Roddy from school.

Besides the phone calls, Reynaldo also sent me a few messages. The information was filled with hostility.

"You actually dared to secretly take away Essie and Roddy, where do you want to hide them? I warn you, do not hide them or use them, otherwise I will not be polite to you!"

"Esmeralda, if you dare to run away with my children secretly, I will kill you!"

The short three messages were filled with killing intent, indicating how angry he was at that time. I suddenly understood. No wonder when he came back, he dragged me without a word, saying I had hidden the children. It turned out that I didn’t answer his phone calls or reply to his messages. He thought I was going to disappear with the children again.

Wasn’t he the one who wanted me to get out of Freybourne in the first place? Now I left secretly, and why is he unwilling again? Is it that he only cares about the children now, whether I leave or not doesn’t matter? I couldn’t figure out the man’s thoughts.

I stared at those messages for a few seconds, then continued to scroll down and found that Vonnie had also missed three calls. It was a few hours ago when she called. I was worried that she might have something urgent to tell me, so I quickly called her back. The phone rang once without anyone answering, so I couldn’t help but dial again.

The second bell rang for quite a while before they answered on the other end. As soon as the phone was answered, I regretted it. The moment the call connected, I heard two breaths that made my face flush and my heart race, as well as Vonnie’s seemingly pleading tone, carrying a coquettishness I had never heard before.

So, what was Vonnie up to now? All adults, I almost instantly understood! Ah ah ah…. Did I interrupt something good between Vonnie and Johnathan? Thinking of this, I hurriedly hung up the phone, but my hand shook and accidentally pressed the speakerphone button.
